About auditing

Enterprise Vault auditing records activity in a number of different categories. All auditing is disabled by default, but you can enable it and specify the categories that you want to audit.

The auditing database can optionally be on a computer that is running Enterprise Vault services. However, it must be hosted by the same SQL Server as the Enterprise Vault Directory database.

The process of setting up auditing is as follows:

Create the auditing database.
Configure auditing on each Enterprise Vault server.

The following sections describe these activities in detail.
